YAYsports! NBA

(Jack Cobra again.)
For those of you that didn’t know already….I am just about the last person alive who cares about USA Basketball. Luckily for you, I get to write on this blog so you are going to have to hear about it from time to time. Don’t worry, I’ll try to make it as painless […]

(The Cavalier wrote this…..sike! You like that word? Jack Cobra wrote this, yo) Thanks to Erica Smith who drew this picture that I took from Google.
If there is a God, and at times I like to believe there is, the Golden State/Utah series has to go the full seven games. Can you imagine what would […]

(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. He did not write this because he is out buying his Kendrick Perkins jersey.)
This just in folks….the Celtics aren’t tanking, they are just preparing for their run to the NBA Finals next season. Their roster is chock full of young, intelligent, talented players who are primed […]

This has been bubbling for awhile, and it seems as if it’s finally confirmed and complete - the Seventy-Sixers have bought out PF Chris Webber, making him an official free agent.
Word is he got 38 of the 43 million bucks he’s still owed on his contract, so that’s not too bad of a deal for […]

When you’re talking about odd hirings in the NBA, the one that went down yesterday is right up there with the legendary “Chicago Bulls Hire Tim Floyd - Will Continue To Run Triangle”.
If you haven’t already heard, Larry Brown is now the executive vice president of the Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers, a position that will basically make […]

While still (STILL) waiting for Raja Bell’s website countdown to hit 00:00:00, we’ve been desperate for the move everyone knew was coming this summer: la trade de le Allen Iverson.
Unfortunately, that event isn’t going to happen, at least according to Philadelphia 76ers GM Billy King.
After nobody would offer anything but crap a long, heartfelt […]

So PP signed his new extension, and Celticsblog wanted some caps on this picture.

You could say Ainge looks happy here, but we think it’s more vexed, probably because while the brain-typing of his team may be aligned, their direction is here here here here here and here.
And we don’t know what to say about […]

It’s open season on free agents and trades, and the Rnaptors (say it like that - it’s fun) sent the first bit o fun out there by moving Charlie V to the Bucks for spinally fused point guard TJ Ford.
It’s an interesting move that’ll hinge on whether first overall draft pick Doofy Italiano is all […]

It’s not as obvious a sign as how he sets his hat on a table, but LeBron may have given a subtle clue as to whether he plans to sign his extention to stay in Cleveland this summer.
Again, these are only words that came out of his mouth, but there may be something to be […]

We’re really enjoying the Playoffs and all, but as of this morning, we’re absilutely pumped for next season.
Word out of Peter Vecsey’s mouth is that Knicks coach Larry Brown is about to get bought out and replaced with the architect of this disaster, one Isiah Thomas.
We couldn’t ask for anything more. This practically guarantees […]
